Betty Blue Eyes

It is 1947: rationing is in full force and the country’s morale is low. The only beacon of hope is the upcoming wedding of Princess Elizabeth to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten. The town council of Shepardsford are planning a grand banquet and have acquired an unlicensed pig, Betty, to feed their elite guests. Meanwhile cheerful chiropodist Gilbert Chilvers and his wife Joyce scrape by on meagre pickings as Meat Inspector Wormold looks set to close every butcher’s shop in Yorkshire. Come watch our story unfold as these three parties clash in this farcical tale of pride, prejudice and pork!

Pirates of the Thames - 2019

Pirates of the Thames: Secrets of the Deep is an original pantomime of epic proportions, with many, many interweaving threads.

Here’s the story in a nutshell: intrepid rookie Jim, who is searching for his parents, meets Captain Jack Daniels who is in turn searching for his wife and son; Captain Morgan and his crew kidnap Princess Bianca, leading Philippa and their cook Ivana to seek Captain Daniels’ help to rescue her; meanwhile both pirate crews are seeking to fulfil separate prophecies to defeat the other, leading to the involvement of the Witch tribes, sea critters, Elvis Presley and the Royal Navy to name but a few.

There’s action, there’s questionable romance and there are ship battles with giant manifestations of sea goddesses. This is a panto that breaks all the rules, then glues them back together and hopes no-one will notice.
